The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) announced the start of the 2024-2025 renewal cycle for health facilities operating under state licenses. This renewal applies to hospitals, psychiatric units, hospices, outpatient surgical facilities and substance use disorder service programs statewide.
Members must renew state licenses through the eLicense portal by July 31. Upon payment, it takes approximately three weeks to receive a hardcopy license. Failure to renew by the deadline will render licenses null and void Aug. 1, prohibiting healthcare services.
After renewal, facilities should separately report necessary changes by visiting LARA’s Health Care Providers webpage for reporting instructions. To update administrator changes for non-long-term care state licensing, follow the directions under the administrator changes section of the webpage. For administrator changes for substance use disorder facilities, email LARA-BCHS-NLTCSLS@michigan.gov.
